As a commuter do you itemize crashpad expenses?

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Gents,

What has your aircrew tax expert said?

As a commuter can you claim crashpad rent or hotel stays as a deduction?

Your thoughts?

Crash Pad & Taxes

Not allowed.

Not necessarily.
If you are forced to be re-based and are there less than 12 months I believe you can deduct the expense...check with a Aviation Tax accountant

My tax guy says you can deduct crashpads and related expenses for 18 months after you were displaced.

The exceptions for involuntary displacement mentioned above notwithstanding, your domicile is considered to be your "tax home." If you choose not to maintain your primary residence there, deductions for travel to/from and living expenses are not deductible.
